Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 125: Kushner and Witkoff in Moscow, Germany's Iron Dome, Ukraine Leak - 9/7/26

Recording from his in laws house on Labor Day, Ghost breaks down the biggest diplomatic weekend in months. Kushner and Witkoff spent three hours with Putin in Moscow, then flew straight to Kyiv to meet Zelensky, and Ghost walks through what a former Austrian foreign minister and a former Bush and Clinton trade advisor both made of it. He also unpacks Scott Bessent's awkward sideline meeting with Russia's finance minister at the G20, connects rising gas prices to what he calls software warfare, and pulls apart a leaked Financial Times map showing Ukraine potentially carved up between Poland, Hungary and Romania. From there it is Germany closing Russian consulates in a tit for tat spat, and Germany quietly signing on for Israel's Iron Dome, built at, of all places, a Volkswagen factory. Ghost has thoughts about the historical irony there. A dense, fast moving catch up.
